Truck in santa cruz - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*67/72junkie* · 03-04-2007, 06:39 PM

I am trying to buy a truck in santa cruz,are there any board members in santa cruz who could pick up and hold this truck for me until I can come pick it up in 3 weeks.The present owner is moving out of state in a few days and it will be between 2&3 weeks before I can get there to pick it up.Anybody in santa cruz or close by who can help me?

PanelDeland · 03-04-2007, 06:46 PM

Where at in NC are you? I am in Greensboro.Sorry I can't help with the Santa Cruz thing.Let us know when you get it.

*67/72junkie* · 03-04-2007, 07:22 PM

I'm in Elizabethtown.I just got off the phone and I'm buying the truck.I plan to ride out in a bus so I can take my tools.Then I,m going to stop off in AZ on the way back and pick up another one.I did this once before and had such I good time so here I go again.

*67/72junkie* · 03-04-2007, 10:21 PM

Anybody?It is a complete running 72 and all I need is storage for a couple of weeks.I don't mind paying for the help.The present owner is leaving thursday and will have to leave truck with his brother.I have comitted myself to buy the truck but would sure feel better about sending payment if I had a board member looking out for me on the other end.

Santa Cruz So Cal? What kind of truck is it?

**special-K** · 03-04-2007, 11:23 PM

Man,I remember someone was from San Jose over the hills.I`m rackin`my brain`cuz I lived there and knew people.But,can`t think of anyone I could contact anymore that`s that near.Can you change the title to "Need Help In Santa Cruz" or something like that?Justa thought.

*67/72junkie* · 03-05-2007, 12:07 AM

The truck is a 71 not a 72 as I said earlier.It is a 3/4 ton with a 350.I found the truck on craigslist and have been talking with the owner for about a week.He has sent me good pics and I am happy with the truck.He is leaving thurs for the virgin islands and will have to leave the truck with his brother parked in the street or with a close friend close by.I feel pretty confident with him but I have been screwed a few times in my life so I'm nervous about him leaving it with someone else.I am planning on making payment tomorrow.JunkyardJohn inspected the one I bought in Carson city NV ''ALL HAIL JOHN" a helluva good man and one I am proud to have met in person.He made the last trip west a vacation for me and I returned the favor by doing few repairs around the house for him while I was there .I am still beholden to him and I can't wait to go visit him now that he is in Kentucky and only a few hours away.Even if someone can't store it I would like to at least get someone to go meet the seller in person for me and access the situation.I will reimburse anyone in driving distance for their gas and time.I will also make a donation of $100 to the board in the name of whoever helps me and Junkyard John for the help I recieve before.Help me find someone guys.

**jerry moss** · 03-05-2007, 12:11 AM

i have a buddy in fremont that might be able to store it , i'll check with him tomorrow if you can get it towed/dropped there. if you can get it to me, i'll store it as long as it runs and is currently registered, i'm a couple hours from santa cruz though.

*67/72junkie* · 03-05-2007, 12:40 AM

Thank you Jerry,the truck is running and registered at this time.I will be talking with the owner again in the morning.I checked map quest and there are 2 Brentwoods listed,which one are you.If I can't get anyone closer I will find out what he will charge me to deliver it to you.Thank you again!

68Mike · 03-05-2007, 12:47 AM

Hey Junkie, I live about 30 minutes from Santa Cruz, CA. I would be willing to have it parked in my driveway until you get here. If you need also, my brother and I can make a trip and pick it up. Is it drivable or do you want it on a trailer? By the way, I live in Salinas, CA, which is just south of Santa Cruz. PM me if this works for you and I'll give you my number.

Mike

*67/72junkie* · 03-05-2007, 01:56 AM

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-05-2007, 06:43 PM

Junkie, I am assuming you will be traveling I-40 on your return trip? If so I
am along there Near Jackson, TN and can offer you a pit stop, or dinner

*67/72junkie* · 03-05-2007, 06:55 PM

Thanks,I might take you up on that,I am hoping to stop in Kentucky and say hello and have dinner with Junkyardjohn.I got a quick pm from him but haven't had a chance for a good chat yet.Once I get his address and I know how far off I-40 he is I will figure out what I'm going to do.

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-05-2007, 07:02 PM

through here tonight returning from NC. Just PM if you need my cotact info.
